Following the success of last year’s inaugural Halton FUTURES Innovation Summit & Awards, this year’s 2nd annual Innovation Summit event will shed light on how smart, innovative technology solutions are transforming the delivery of healthcare services from the hospital ER to the clinic, and addressing the key challenges in our healthcare system so as to enhance the patient experience and wellness outcomes.
